I want to share what God has done through our amazing community, true and dear friends who support & love helping others and sharing a heart for serving the Lord, businesses that are faithful to a cause that cares for those who are in need and those who are hurting so much with no hope and feeling battered and at the end of their options... BUT GOD... Through everyone's faithfulness to Him look what can be done! For 12 Years we have faithfully supported the Safehouse of Seminole which helps victims of domestic abuse create new beginnings as strong, safe victors! This video was taken one year ago and today we are asking you to share pictures of yourself and friends with the #Friendshelpingfriends2020 walking, running, praying, biking, however you want to share... that will give support through our 12th annual Virtual 5K today. You can still purchase a shirt that says "We rise by lifting others". walkonwaterfl.com click 5K or you can make a donation.
I am asking you to support this cause by sharing your picture, making a donation to Safehouse through purchase of a shirt for yourself and others, or a direct donation to them!
